OPI Your Royal Shine-ness

9.15.2011

Mooooving on down the line on my polishes and today I have Your Royal Shine-ness, a silver metallic from the Glam Slam England collection. This was definitely a break from the other Glam Slam collections where colors were paired with a Shatter; instead the duo-packs came with Servin' Up Sparkle. For this manicure, I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of OPI Top Coat. The formula was smooth.

As you can see in the sunlight, this is a "grittier" metallic - more shimmer than molten looking. See Sally Hansen Platinum Chrome to see what I mean.

In the shade, you can see that this color likes to reflect what is in the background - like a mirror. You can see some red on my nails but that's from my red roof, not anything in the actual polish.

Finally indoors with the flash and totally out of focus... this color didn't want to behave for the cameras but you can see how shiny and shimmery it is. This is a different type of metallic and while I think it's great for Halloween, layering under a Shatter or New Years, I can't see myself wearing it daily.
